    -------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3203-1                debian-lts@lists.debian.org     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                      Markus Koschany     November 23, 2022                             https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

    Package        : nginx     Version        : 1.14.2-2+deb10u5     CVE ID         : CVE-2021-3618 CVE-2022-41741 CVE-2022-41742     Debian Bug     : 991328

    It was discovered that parsing errors in the mp4 module of Nginx, a     high-performance web and reverse proxy server, could result in denial     of service, memory disclosure or potentially the execution of arbitrary     code when processing a malformed mp4 file.

    This module is only enabled in the nginx-extras binary package.

    In addition the following vulnerability has been fixed.

    CVE-2021-3618

        ALPACA is an application layer protocol content confusion attack,         exploiting TLS servers implementing different protocols but using         compatible certificates, such as multi-domain or wildcard certificates.
        A MiTM attacker having access to victim's traffic at the TCP/IP layer can         redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS         session. This breaks the authentication of TLS and cross-protocol attacks         may be possible where the behavior of one protocol service may compromise

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1.14.2-2+deb10u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nginx packages.
